Performance

We’ve now got hardware where we can reproduce the problem on. The clock speed is really low on these machines (even worse when in battery-saving mode), which seems to be the main contributing factor.

Fixed a bug where logins / passwords weren’t being filled in via the context menu item – this was a regression from some perf work where the contextmenu sync IPC message was removed.

Patches will land shortly that will allow us to kill hanging JS more quickly in content processes when we’re shutting down or when all windows have disappeared. This should eliminate a class of slow shutdowns.
